Have seen them on some utes too. The second rim I believe is off an EF Fairmont. The Fairmont Ghia had different rims.

The second wheel was standard fitment on EL Fairmont. Trivial I know, I just thought I'd clear it up. BenJ, I'm very jealous of the sunroof. Always wanted one! The car has come a long way from when you got it, nice work. |

ok have picked up the sheds ..... & picked up the ghia wagoon yesterday
it drove good altho there appears to be a problem with the aftermarket alarm fitted [cuts out/runs rough] with the factory cruise working great! [was a4 hr drive back]. didn't come with the EF wheels as he sed they were 'loose' when fitted? [thinkin nut bottomed out??] worked out that my EB DOES have a part missing re aircon! & after the EB is on the road will look into fitting the sunroof from the ghia [& acoupla other items] pics later |

just hunt around ... they do turn up! the EA gli wagoon was up near eden [nsw] so was a good trip up n back in the one day just wasn't happy with a lot of surface rust. the last EB was $580 for the complete car- well used 4l & 5sp factory manual complete [bit of rust tho]
keep eyes open & dont be afraid ta offer cash on ebay i picked up two front door trims to replace her passenger one for $1 lol .. only noticed cupla smallish rips at the base [hers is damaged where it mounts to the side of the door] picked up the aftermarket 5sp floor shifter brand new for $65 compared to roughly double that here .. did compare it to one sellng locally & i'd bet the $ spent on it that they are the same. currently gettin a factory shifter cut down to suit the new one |
